High River Teeth Extractions

While Highwood Dental always tries to preserve your natural teeth and keep them in good health for as long as possible, there are times when an extraction is the best course of action. When recommended by your dentist, you can rely on Highwood Dental for safe, effective and efficient tooth extractions, with a commitment to ensuring that you remain as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.

When a tooth becomes severely damaged, broken or chipped, or if a tooth’s position interferes with impending orthodontic treatment, a dentist might recommend an extraction to correct the problem and provide relief. Other times, there may be advanced periodontal disease that cannot be treated properly or severe tooth decay can cannot be repaired. While we always try to save natural teeth, there may be situations where extraction is essential for your overall dental health. In these situations, Highwood Dental is here for you.

The first step in the process is to evaluate what the problem is and whether you actually require an extraction. Our team will review your medical history and take an X-ray to evaluate the tooth and surrounding bone. Once the decision to extract has been made, the procedure is typically carried out with local anesthesia and/or sedatives for extra comfort. Whatever sedatives are used, we prioritize your safety and comfort throughout the procedure. Once you are completely frozen and comfortable, your dentist will gently remove the tooth while being careful to preserve the surrounding bone.

For emergency extractions, we offer replacement options like dental bridges and dental implants to restore function and appearance, with results that look and feel natural. Whatever your reason for a tooth extraction, Highwood Dental is here for you!
